Where do I go to get help with Visual studio development of visuals?

I've followed the instructions on Github and I've also installed the VSIX package but I cannot find the templates in Visual Studio to create a visual from scratch.  Neither can I get the included example to work, it kicks off Edge okay but then hits a failure that I cannot figure my way around... (though am still trying).

 

I've scanned the web but can find nothing to help.  How do I take it from here?

@trevb Can't say I've gone down this path yet, but here are a few ideas.

Here is the video originally released to show how to set things up/get started

Rather than go down the full path of getting everything configured in VS, have you tried just using the "Dev Tools" from the Service?

Go to Settings - Dev Tools and it automatically opens an environment to start building visuals.

The "Documentation" tab in the header of the tools directs you to here.

Hope that helps some.
